Telstra has confessed to rigging a ZDNet Australia survey which questions whether its Internet service provides value for money, just days after its ramped up Net access toll fell under the investigation of the competition watchdog for possible breaches of the Trade Practices Act.
Caught in the act rigging ZDNet online user surveys last week, Telstra is deliberating over offering a formal apology saying it can’t control the actions of its employees.
Telstra was held accountable for last month’s rigging of ZDNet Australia’s online survey at Senate Estimates this week, with the opposition calling for the nation’s incumbent carrier to apologise where it has so far failed to do so.
Telstra’s poll rigger has come forward, alleging that members of the telco’s senior management found the entire situation “incredibly funny” and threatened him with legal action if he told his story.
Hutchison has received a lashing from members of the Australian Computer Society in a survey released on Friday, but the telco claims the survey was rigged.
